Printing-Business Cards for DHHS

The North Dakota Department of Health and Human Services (ND DHHS) is seeking competitive bids for printing business cards through Invitation for Bid (IFB) No. 110.7-25-079, specifically targeting business card blanks and imprinting services. The procurement covers multiple quantity ranges, including blanks from 50,000 to 100,000 and imprint quantities of 100, 250, 500, and 1,000. Business cards must be printed on 12 pt. white, C2S gloss cover stock, with specific requirements for artwork, proofing, and packaging. The contract will be awarded on an all-or-none basis, with bidders required to provide unit prices for both blanks and per-name imprinting. The solicitation was posted on August 26, 2025, with a bid closing deadline of September 9, 2025, at 1:00 PM, and the initial contract period will run from October 25, 2025, through October 31, 2026, with potential extensions for up to two additional 12-month periods. Delivery is mandated within 10 working days of order receipt, with materials to be delivered to the ND DHHS in Bismarck.

The procurement includes a North Dakota printing preference, which means only resident North Dakota bidders will be considered for the contract. Pricing must be firm-fixed for the first 180 days, with potential subsequent price adjustments subject to state approval. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly noted, the solicitation emphasizes local vendor preference. Based on the attached bid summary document from a previous similar procurement, the total contract value is estimated to be in the range of $1,750 to $2,618, depending on the specific quantities and vendor selected. The contract will require the winning vendor to produce business cards that adhere to the provided template, which includes the state's logo, "Be Legendary" tagline, and space for individual employee contact information. The solicitation suggests a comprehensive understanding of printing specifications, artwork requirements, and delivery timelines will be critical for successful bidders.
